Graceful vs forceful killing strategy seems backwards?

[JamesMGreene]

According to the Node.js docs on worker.kill:

Because worker.kill() attempts to gracefully disconnect the worker process, it is susceptible to waiting indefinitely for the disconnect to complete. For example, if the worker enters an infinite loop, a graceful disconnect will never occur. If the graceful disconnect behavior is not needed, use worker.process.kill().

I suppose this may be related to the Node.js cluster module's shortcomings, e.g. the "cluster" section of nodejs/node#33715 🤔

There is a current attempt underway to normalize this a bit more: nodejs/node#34312

I'm running into what I think is a related issue with orphaned child processes post-shutdown per this complex example.

Should child worker process invoke process.exit() after disconnect()?
